Sky Q

[Northstandboy]

Hey

Getting Sky Q installed Sunday. Anyone got the box?

What's it like, currently with Virgin Media and find the V6 box very clunky to use and navigate.

Also what's the UHD quality like?

 

[Oxymoron]

Had one for over a year, mainly for the minbox allowing us to have full Sky access in other rooms without the cables - that works pretty well. Only gripes with the UI is that there is no single button to call up the TV listings and on the old box, you could mark a program and a reminder would appear just before it was due to start - you don't have this facility anymore.

On the plus side it downloads just about everything you want & then what it thinks you want to watch - the catchup/on demand will let you pick up anything else, so you hardly need to use the schedules.

We have a 43inch UHD TV and to be honest, the difference between HD and UHD is barely descernable to my untrained eye, but if you had a bigger screen, you may notice a difference.

Hope you negotiated a deal! I haven't paid full price to sky for the last three years! (We do have broadband, phone, Q and mobile from Sky which helps)
